If you are near downtown, Lake Eola has a full playground.

Other than that - there is a list on this page with link to each park in Orlando - just click and then scroll down or do a search for "playground"

This are just the ones I've actually visited, I'm sure there are a ton more.

Eola is a great chocie. Kittinger is only to watch planes land a t executive. there is parking space and nothing more.


Leu Gardens is a beautiful place to go as well. it does have a fee but the annual is only like $15 and worth it. Great for those that love plants.

Actually they just recently built a playground even closer to the runways. It's cool for kids because they can play and watch planes take off and land.

I've been to eola plenty of times during the day and there are no undesirables there. Its a beautiful park and perfect for families. There is a full playground, a path around the lake, and on certain days of the week there is a farmer's market which has specific areas devoted to kids entertainment. Everything from a book club/sale for kids, to games and activities. Its a great place to bring kids for sure!

Another great area is the park around the major lake in Winter Park. Some days of the week you can even find food trucks there for snacks for the kids! Good luck!

Good call on Kittinger - forgot they added the playground. Definitely a good spot with the added asset of the airport.

Don't know what to say about leftee's comment about Lake Eola. No response needed - the playground is packed just about every day - that speaks for itself.
